# Camera Implementation Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes how camera functionality is implemented across the TimeSafari application. The application uses cameras for two main purposes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. QR Code scanning
|
||||
2. Photo capture
|
||||
|
||||
## Components
|
||||
|
||||
### QRScannerDialog.vue
|
||||
|
||||
Primary component for QR code scanning in web browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses `qrcode-stream` for web-based QR scanning
|
||||
- Supports both front and back cameras
|
||||
- Provides real-time camera status feedback
|
||||
- Implements error handling with user-friendly messages
|
||||
- Includes camera switching functionality
|
||||
|
||||
**Camera Access Flow:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Checks for camera API availability
|
||||
2. Enumerates available video devices
|
||||
3. Requests camera permissions
|
||||
4. Initializes camera stream with preferred settings
|
||||
5. Handles various error conditions with specific messages
|
||||
|
||||
### PhotoDialog.vue
|
||||
|
||||
Component for photo capture and selection.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Cross-platform photo capture interface
|
||||
- Image cropping capabilities
|
||||
- File selection fallback
|
||||
- Unified interface for different platforms
|
||||
|
||||
## Services
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Web-based implementation of QR scanning.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Methods:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `checkPermissions()`: Verifies camera permission status
|
||||
- `requestPermissions()`: Requests camera access
|
||||
- `isSupported()`: Checks for camera API support
|
||||
- Handles various error conditions with specific messages
|
||||
|
||||
#### CapacitorQRScanner
|
||||
|
||||
Native implementation using Capacitor's MLKit.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses `@capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning`
|
||||
- Supports both front and back cameras
|
||||
- Implements permission management
|
||||
- Provides continuous scanning capability
|
||||
|
||||
### Platform Services
|
||||
|
||||
#### WebPlatformService
|
||||
|
||||
Web-specific implementation of platform features.
|
||||
|
||||
**Camera Capabilities:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses HTML5 file input with capture attribute
|
||||
- Falls back to file selection if camera unavailable
|
||||
- Processes captured images for consistent format
|
||||
|
||||
#### CapacitorPlatformService
|
||||
|
||||
Native implementation using Capacitor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Camera Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses `Camera.getPhoto()` for native camera access
|
||||
- Supports image editing
|
||||
- Configures high-quality image capture
|
||||
- Handles base64 image processing
|
||||
|
||||
#### ElectronPlatformService
|
||||
|
||||
Desktop implementation (currently unimplemented).
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Camera functionality not yet implemented
|
||||
- Planned to use Electron's media APIs
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform-Specific Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### iOS
|
||||
|
||||
- Requires `NSCameraUsageDescription` in Info.plist
|
||||
- Supports both front and back cameras
|
||||
- Implements proper permission handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Android
|
||||
|
||||
- Requires camera permissions in manifest
|
||||
- Supports both front and back cameras
|
||||
- Handles permission requests through Capacitor
|
||||
|
||||
### Web
|
||||
|
||||
- Requires HTTPS for camera access
|
||||
- Implements fallback mechanisms
|
||||
- Handles browser compatibility issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Error Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
1. No camera found
|
||||
2. Permission denied
|
||||
3. Camera in use by another application
|
||||
4. HTTPS required
|
||||
5. Browser compatibility issues
|
||||
|
||||
